• How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

  I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
  be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
  DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
  a VOB extension.

  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is in, and then select Explorer.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.

• Is what camcorder compatible with Windows Movie Maker on Vista Home Premium?

  I'm in a bit of a dead end.  I have to make and edit a film which is mostly clips stored in Windows Movie Maker on my old computer which has VISTA Home Premium/64 bit.

  In most old clips (that are compatible), I have to shoot some new images.  My recent purchase of a Sony camcorder does not work.

  Can anyone recommend a camcorder that will have files that are compatible with Windows Movie Maker?  My Sony clips seem impossible to move outside the Sony software so I can't convert them.

  I'm ready to buy a new camera.  I just need something compatible.  Would even buy a used one on E - Bay as long as it will work with the old Windows Movie Maker.

  Can anyone help?

  If its on a memory card to buy a card reader, if you do not. Or if you connect the cable it should allow you to see what on it

  Most camcorders these days support MP4. If it is HD. The new Panasonic cam I have here, I think that it records in MP4. Since it is 1080 p

  The old who is also Panasonic may have been old, (it is not HD), but it had a firewire port.

  But I think that it saved videos like WMV (I mean I don't know that it loaded in Movie maker, when I got it)

  You will have either to buy a program that supports MP4, or use a video conversion program and convert to WMV

• What type of DVD should I buy to burn my Windows Movie Maker movie? Also, I have Windows DVD Maker, but no DVD burner. What should I buy?

  I created a movie in Movie Maker.  I bought some DVD + r's - the correct burn the movie on?  Also, I don't have a burner, I thought that I did, I can only burn a CD what should I buy?  I don't have a Windows DVD authoring program.

  Hi rondah,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community newsgroups.

  The type of recordable DVD, you need to use depends on your DVD burner, as well as on your DVD player. Some DVD burners can burn only to certain types of DVD recordable. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to DVD + R discs or DVD + RW or DVD-R or DVD - RW discs, while some other DVD burners will let you burn on all of these recordable DVD types.

  As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can use Windows DVD creation to burn a DVD using one of the following types of recordable and re-recordable DVD media: DVD + R, DVD + RW, DVD - R, DVD - RW, and DVD - ROM. These recordable or rewritable DVDs can be either simple single laminate or single sided double layer.

  You should also consider the device you're using to play the DVD once you have engraved, if possible. Some DVD players and DVD - ROM drives play only certain types of DVD. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

• encoding dvd hangs during burning in windows movie maker

  I got my film in preview and clicked "burn" - the dvd encoding process starts, then stops at 1.1%.  No error message is given; hold the right encoding.

  I downloaded the windows essentials pack 2.3d media codec that has solved a problem I had upload my video in movie maker.

  I tried to disable the video filters under Tools, but it had no effect on the dvd, encoding of stall.

  Ideas?

  Hi Cindy luster,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  How are you trying to publish the movie?
  What is the format of the file you want to burn?
  You try to burn all protected digital content?
  Are you able to burn DVDs using the default windows DVD burner?

  This could happen if the format of the files you used in movie maker could be the cause of this problem. If you try to publish the film directly on the DVD, then I suggest you try to publish to the computer and then try to burn the DVD.

  You can also use create DVD to burn your movie maker projects to check how it works there. To learn more about burning using DVD maker click the link below

• DVD does not properly burn on windows movie maker

  My film seems perfect on the screen, but when I burn to a DVD in the same program of Movie Maker, it burns all the show and there is no music either.  Any advice?

  Thank you

  Frustratedwithmoviemaker

  Hello

  I suggest to restore the settings of Windows DVD maker to factory default settings in the audio and video
  the filters sometimes cause this problem.

  Video and audio filters are programs that are installed on your computer that help interpret video files so that they will display and play correctly. Windows Movie
  Manufacturer use them when you import video and audio.

  To restore settings, try the following steps.
  a. open Windows DVD maker.
  b. click on tools and then click Options.
  c. click on the Compatibility tab.
  d. do one of the following:
  e. click all of the default settings.
  f. restart DVD creation and burning a DVD again to check if the problem persists.

  When you restore the default settings, the list and the filters settings are given to the last known good setting.

  EVERYBODY THERE KNOWS HOW TO GET THE MUSIC BACK ON?

  ==================================
  Just a few thoughts...

  More than likely it has a compatibility issue
  with the Audio file (music). Conversion to the
  Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker
  may be worth a try:

  There are to many converters available on the net...
  Some are free - some details... the following freeware
  is but one example. :

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Freemake - Free Audio Converter
  http://www.Freemake.com/free_audio_converter/
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8)
  (* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
  may be a few items you want to unmark *)

  When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
  and drag and drop your music files on the main screen.

  Or... Click left on the Audio button, then navigate to the
  your audio files are saved in the folder.

  Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
  Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

  When your music files are imported into Freemake,
  On the left, click on the WMA icon at the bottom of the screen.

  The "Output settings" screen opens.  Choose
  ' Save in ' file so you can find the converted files.

  On the left, click the "Convert" button and the files must be
  converted very quickly.

  It is also possible that the project is too large or
  complex.

  The fix for this would be to create several small
  projects and save each of them in the movie WMV
  format in a folder on your hard drive.

  The collected WMV files can then be re-imported
  in Movie Maker to bring together in a single
  film or they can be imported into DVD Maker
  and each comes a scene on a DVD.

• HP Pavilion a6110n PC stops when you publish movies with Windows Movie Maker

  I use Windows Movie Maker to try to "Publish movie" for playback on a computer (creation '. ") WMV files") [200 MB of files created for 15-minute video].  When I run the app, even by itself, with no other applications running, the PC fan starts strong.  If the computer has served for a period of time, the computer will be completely and suddenly close, before ending the video creation.

  If I run Movie Maker when you first start up the computer, the machine can finish successfully creating the film without stopping.

  I don't know what I need to upgrade or replace.  The CPU is overheating?  Or the video card?  Or both?

  If I need to replace the fan, any suggestion would be appreciated.  (I'm talking a CPU fan? Graphics card fan? or what?)

  My PC Specs:

  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium SP1

  4 GB memory

  320GB SATA Hard Drive - 40GB available

  AMD 64 x 2 Dual Core processor 4400 + 2.30 GHz

  Hi, Yes this video rendering really puts a load on your cpu!  The first thing that comes to mind, and the easiest to fix, is simply clean up the inevitable dust bunnies that accumulate inside the tower.  Have you already checked for that?  If this is not the case, remove the side panel of the tower and clean all the dust, especially around the heatsink from the processor.  Compressed canned air works very well for this.  Here is your product guide that shows how to remove the side panel: a6110n be sure to unplug the power cord from your machine before you start on it!  And let us know what you found.

  In addition, I think that you may know this already because you have taken the trouble to include in your listing, but your hard drive is too full.  Vista is a resource hog, memory and available disk space.  He needs a lot of space to work.  And if it doesn't have enough room, it makes your memory and cpu have to work hard.  You ran a disk clean up lately?

  Start button-> computer-> right click on drive C: Local-> properties-> click "Disk Cleanup".  A pop-up window appears.  I put a control over everything on the list.  Then click on the 'More Options' tab at the top of this window, look under "system restore and shadow copies ' and click on 'Clean up '.  Which may take several minutes if you have not done before.  When it's finished, go back to the top of this window, click on 'Disk cleanup' and click the 'OK' button at the bottom of the window to remove all the files that you checked.  You must THEN run a defragmentation.

  In my opinion, and depending on how much space you freed up with cleaning the disc, you will need to spend at least 50 GB of your data files on this hard drive and maintain.   And then you need to add an additional hard drive to your system.  Many options for this just depends on your exact needs.

  in any case, it's my ideas.  If cleaning the dust bunnies and the hard drive does not resolve the problem then perhaps someone else on the forum will be able to helpl with more technical type suggestions.  I think they're going to need additional information about your system, however.  For example, I noticed that you added 2 GB of RAM.  And you mentioned something about a graphics card fan, but your machine came with integrated graphics.  Also added a video card?  If so, exactly what video card do you have installed and have you also changed the power supply?  Any other changes to your machine to factory specifications?
